Welcome sfemme24 . Is yours a V6 Duratec? It could be a bad IMRC if it is sputtering above 3500 RPM or so. Also check the MAF sensor and air filter. MAF sensor http://www.contour.org/mods/mods.php?s=howto&displayid=36 and http://www.contour.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=zetecmaint&Number=989728&page=&view=&sb=5&o=&fpart=1&vc=1 and http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker?ForwardPage=/az/cds/en_us/0900823d/80/1b/cb/25/0900823d801bcb25.jsp Last edited by Tony2005; 06/21/06 05:39 PM.

Then post the exact codes here. In addition, read this about the Intake Manifold Runner Control (a new one costs about $250). http://www.contour.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=v6maint&Number=1249131&page=&view=&sb=5&o=&fpart=all&vc=1 and this. http://www.contour.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=trouble&Number=1086876&page=&view=&sb=5&o=&fpart=1&vc=1 and this. http://www.contour.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=v6maint&Number=1090525&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=7&fpart=1 Last edited by Tony2005; 06/21/06 05:52 PM.
